I Have Been Writing Rhymes

I have been writing rhymes since i was in my life's prime And this is going back some four decades in time Of people and nature and places and life i do write For others if they so wish to for to read and recite Just one who has written a whole heap of stuff For many years i have been a rhyming buff In literary circles not one to the fore I write for enjoyment and little else more Too old for to dream now of literary fame Perhaps i will die as i live without much to my name In my physical prime before time became my foe I penned my first rhymes forty three years ago And though my better days in the forever gone For as long as i can do i will keep rhyming on.
